Chapter 392: There is no such thing as an absolute defense in this world

Translator: G.o.dBrandy Editor: Kurisu

After the four servants pierced their chests with their palms, fresh blood gushed out. The volume of blood gus.h.i.+ng out was incredibly large, almost resembling a waterfall. Although the wound was only of the size of a palm, in the blink of an eye, their entire bodies were drained of blood.

All the blood poured inside the formation drawn onto the ground, dying it in red… at last, the bodies of the four servants became bags of skin and softly fell to the ground.

Were these guys human-shaped inflatable dolls filled with blood...?

In the center of the blood-soaked formation, that mister had a strange smile on his face. Blood flowed out of his neck like a fountain, quickly draining all the blood in his body.

But compared to those servants, who had only their skin left, that mister was in much better shape. At least, he still had a skeleton, and after the skin closely stuck to the bones, he turned into a mummified corpse.

”Hehe… a special puppet that can be controlled with the power of blood? What an ingenious method,” Venerable Spirit b.u.t.terfly said with a smile. Next, he stared at the formation arranged on the ground. However, he didn't seem to intend to stop it.

”They were puppets and not living things? No wonder they died in such a way!” Song Shuhang muttered. Then, he looked at the corpse of the mister in the center of the 'picture scroll formation'. At this time, he was still holding some pictures scroll in his hands!

As expected, the paintings of the 'sword technique' were their objective!

But now that those puppets dressed up as servants and this mister had committed suicide, how exactly were they planning to take away the four scroll pictures of the 'sword technique'?

Song Shuhang immediately gazed at the blood-soaked formation on the floor. Were they planning to use this strange 'picture scroll formation' to get out of here? At this time, the formation was in an active state and had been completely soaked in blood, emitting a strange red-colored radiance.

Although he didn't know what the purpose of the formation was, he knew that it was something this mister and his lackeys had arranged.

”Senior Spirit b.u.t.terfly, the four pictures of the Chu Family's 'sword technique' are in that guy's hand. We can't let him get away!” Song Shuhang shouted.

In his Heart Aperture, the previously calm ghost spirit became boiling hot, just like that time in the dreamland.

”Thump, thump, thump!”

His heart started to beat frantically.

The ghost spirit was struggling to get out of the Heart Aperture. It wanted to approach those four pictures as soon as possible. Those four pictures surely concealed a secret, a secret related to the loose cultivator Li Tiansu!

Song Shuhang gently touched his chest and used the ❮True Self Meditation Scripture❯ to calm himself.

Afterward, he grabbed the Broken Tyrant and rushed toward the formation on the ground… he had to take back the 'sword technique' before the formation started operating!

But just as he was approaching the blood-soaked formation, the blood on the floor gathered into a b.l.o.o.d.y ma.s.s as though it had its own will. Afterward, the ma.s.s of blood changed into a rain of arrows and shot toward Song Shuhang!

”s.h.i.+eld!” Song Shuhang lightly shouted and raised his hands, activating the defensive ability of the ghost spirit. At the same time, he used the right hand to unsheathe the treasure saber Broken Tyrant, pouring his true qi inside the blade.

”Ding, ding, ding!” The blood arrows. .h.i.t the s.h.i.+eld as though they were solid ent.i.ties, creating a melodious sound. After Song Shuhang advanced to the Second Stage, the small golden s.h.i.+eld of the ghost spirit was also strengthened.

But under the barrage of arrows, the small golden s.h.i.+eld resisted only one wave of attacks before crumbling.

”Flaming Saber!” Song Shuhang gravely shouted. He spun his wrist and recalled the scene of Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven displaying the Flaming Saber Technique and unleas.h.i.+ng heaven-burning saber intent. The blade rotated, and the blazing flames started to surge. Song Shuhang grasped the saber with both hands tightly and slashed in front of him.

The flames changed into a crescent moon-shaped saber light, slas.h.i.+ng toward the rain of arrows along with its heaven-burning saber intent!

”Boom~”

When the saber qi and the blood arrows came in contact, the blood completely evaporated due to the heat… the Flaming Saber Technique that Scarlet Heaven pa.s.sed onto Shuhang was very powerful.

After evaporating the arrows, the flaming slash directly headed toward the blood-soaked formation, ready to destroy it!

No matter what the purpose of the formation was, destroying it would surely be a good thing!

But just as the saber qi of the Flaming Saber Technique entered the range of the formation, it was cut open by an invisible force, changing into several small flames. Then, it was cut again and again, becoming smaller and smaller until completely disappearing...

Song Shuhang furrowed his brows a bit.

What kind of technique did the opposite party use to disperse the qi of his Flaming Saber Technique?

”Is this the s.p.a.ce's ability to cut things?” the nearby Soft Feather said in puzzlement.

She felt that there was a chaotic s.p.a.ce surrounding the blood-soaked formation, and all things that entered the area would be cut down by the power of s.p.a.ce!

”Hmm… it's indeed the power of s.p.a.ce. Little friend Shuhang, don't be impatient. After all, good things only come to those who wait.” Venerable Spirit b.u.t.terfly smiled and added, ”This is a teleportation technique, and the surrounding 'rending s.p.a.ce' is generated right before the start of the technique due to the connection between the main world and the area surrounding the formation breaking off. The broken connection gives birth to a 'chaotic s.p.a.ce' that can act was as a layer of defense when the teleportation starts. Anyway, I didn't expect that I would get to see the power of s.p.a.ce here, it's really surprising.”

The power of s.p.a.ce was something that only Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcenders could use.

But the opposite party wasn't a Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender… his strength was merely in the Fourth Stage Realm. Therefore, what kind of treasure or secret technique did he use to arrange a teleportation technique?
